Buttermilk Biscuits

I am not a baker. However, there is nothing like freshly made biscuits right out of the oven.

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 cup cold butter

1 1/3 cups cold buttermilk

1 tablespoon butter

Preheat oven to 475℉.

Place a 10-inch cast-iron griddle or skillet in the oven to heat.

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a box grater, quickly grate cold butter over flour mixture, stirring with a fork to combine. Add cold buttermilk and stir until just combined; dough will be sticky. Transfer to a floured wok surface, sprinkle with a little flour, and knead 3 to 4 times; shape into a long roll.

Remove hot griddle from over; add remaining butter and swirl to melt and coat.

Working with about 1/2 cup dough at a time, pinch off pieces and roll gently in your hands to shape. Arrange on hot greased skillet with sides just touching; transfer to oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. or until golden brown. Split biscuits int half and serve hot with Andouille Cream Gravy.

Enjoy!!!
